Child molesters are the scariest kinds of monsters because, unlike most of the bogeymen our children fear, they really do exist.

Sex offender waives hearing in rape case of 3-year-old

A convicted sex offender recently charged with additional sex assault cases after his DNA was examined since being imprisoned, yesterday waived his right to a preliminary hearing in connection with the kidnapping and rape of a 3-year-old Wilkinsburg girl in 2002.

Police said that in April 2002 a 3-year-old girl was taken from her home in Wilkinsburg as she slept in bed with her mother. The mother woke up around 2:30 a.m. and called police.

A passer-by found the girl in Highland Park about three hours later. She was taken to Children's Hospital, where an examination showed that she had been sexually assaulted, police said.

After DNA tests had been done, Mr. Lipinski was charged with kidnapping, rape, burglary, reckless endangerment, indecent assault, corruption of a minor, and two counts of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse in connection with the child's abduction.
